week 16

>>Finally I feel like I'm pregnant :) Maybe the rest of the world still see's a fupa, but my tummy feels different than it ever has, it hurts to lay on my back for too long, and i can literaly feel it stretching for the little papoose inside. September 17th we have our next ultrasound... the day we find out if theres a little her or a little him wrapped up and waiting for us to meet! 

I am also starting to crave fall...

the weather cooling

clothes becoming comfy

the leaves turning

smells of cinnamon and spice

feeling fall all over

certain things just...go...with fall!

1. pumpkin. spice. 

thank you starbucks for enriching my dependancy on caffeine. i tried to quit, but on the cusp of the harvest season...touche`. i helplessly lapsed, and drinking these jewels far too often is still a fall-time crutch.

2. cozy throws everywhere

3. old classics. 

when the wind is a howlin, and the glowing glory days of summer are a simmering echo in time, the best solstice is often found by the fire. in an old chair. with a cup o tea. and a good, long, mysterious novel. 

4. sweet critters.

good for every season (of course). but this time of year their fuzzy coats = additional warmth! cuddles galore :)

5. soups & stews

i will TRY to post the most mouthwatering, hearty, comforting and special recipes for glorious cold weather meals.

6. boots.

step into fall, prepared! 

7. candles.

of the winners this autumn. these babys take the cake:
